Biology offers a variety of shared microscopy resources. These instruments
are available to all members of Cell Biology. Training is required
of all users prior to independent use of any shared department microscope.
Businesses are not permitted to use any shared Cell Biology instrument. 
Training in light microscopy and confocal microscopy
is available. Consulting on microscopy projects is also available.| Dr. Jennifer Waters Director, NIC@HMS
